About this listen

In the thrilling first crime novel from former FBI director James Comey, a murder investigation reveals deadly connections between high-ranking politicians and the mafia

When a years-long case against a powerful mobster finally cracks and an unimpeachable witness takes the stand, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton is looking forward to putting the defendant away for good. The mobster, though, has other plans. As the witness's testimony concludes, a note is passed to the prosecution offering up information into the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment just days before. It's enough to blow the case wide open, and to send Nora into a high-stakes investigation of conspiracy, corruption, and danger.

Drawing from the author's decades in federal law enforcement, including his years in Manhattan as a mob prosecutor and later the chief federal prosecutor, Central Park West is a fast-paced legal thriller with an intriguing plot enriched by real-life details and experiences. That unique perspective gives the novel much of its allure, but it's the unforgettable characters, shocking twists, and courtroom scenes as authentic as they are dramatic that will leave listeners looking forward to more from this bold new talent in the genre.

Loved this book! Very entertaining!!

A message to James Comey,

After reading “A Higher Loyalty Truth, Lies, and Leadership”, I was compelled to immediately read this book, “Central Park West” to explore your first venture into the realm of fiction. When I finished the first book, I promised myself I was going to read it a second time, which I may do very soon. However, I was curious to read your first attempt at fiction. As an author myself of historical fiction and suspense thrillers, I have to say to you, Sir, Well done! I loved the book!
I will be reading any other books you write as well!

Sincerely,
Thomas J. Feely

several plot twists

For a first novel this was very, very well done. The narrator was particularly good at all the different characters. The story was a little slow to launch, but once it got going kept my attention and had many twist, turns, and developments.

Excellent first attempt by the former Director of the FBI!

Fairly complex story line with excellent narration. Narration can make or break an Audible book.

Just ok

If you like courtrooms, lawyers, descriptive narrative of the state of New York investigators. The story, a murder case was pretty uninteresting.

Compelling Read

Well done I couldn’t put it down. The ending, however,seemed almost detached from the main storyline of the book

crime in NYC

First time author for me. I don't live somewhere that has lots of Mafie types. In fact, I've wondered from time to time why I didn't hear more about them, the bad guys, although I assumed they were around in some capacity. This book brought home that the Mafia is alive and well.

The author must have inside knowledge of crime in NYC as he communicates all of the interlocking parts of crime and how the legal system works trying to bring it all to justice.

I didn't find the book terribly exciting but it was interesting. I had an easy time sticking with it to the end.

Comey crushes it. Outstanding work.

James Comey brings modern day characters to life in this work. Enjoyed the local knowledge of Hoboken, New York, and Westport. Bravo Jim - keep these works coming; greatly enjoyed it!
